Biologist (PhD Student) | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD student position offers talented scientists the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research within the International PhD Programme (IPP) Mainz, focusing on "Molecular Mechanisms in Genome Stability & Gene Regulation." The successful candidate will join a vibrant community of researchers investigating diverse topics such as aging, DNA repair, epigenetics, and neural memory. Working within the Helle Ulrich research group, the role involves studying regulatory mechanisms governing cellular quality control, specifically DNA repair pathways, DNA replication, and the signaling functions of ubiquitin and SUMO. The projects combine genetics, molecular and cell biology, protein biochemistry, and advanced genomics tools, utilizing both budding yeast and human cells as models. This is an attractive opportunity for those passionate about deciphering complex biological processes related to genome maintenance and cellular resilience against diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration.
